I have an old programmable thermostat and I’m thinking about upgrading to a smart one. I’m wondering if the extra cost is really worth it. Has anyone made the switch and noticed a big difference in comfort or energy savings? What features do you use the most?
Interesting topic! I actually went straight for a smart thermostat and skipped the old programmable ones entirely, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but I can tell you it’s been brilliant.
The smart programming is really easy and just works on its own, which is super convenient. I barely have to think about it. The energy usage reports are a great feature too—it’s really useful to see exactly where the energy is going and how much I’m saving.
Hope to hear what others think about it!
I made the switch, and I would say it’s absolutely worth it. Like ChloeS said, the smart programming is great. For me, the best feature is being able to control it from my phone when I’m not home. It’s so useful for saving energy or making sure the house is warm when I get back.
Definitely recommend the upgrade!
